Secret Santa at BMR for Christmas, are you in ?????

[flyingillini]

Count me in, who will arrange this? I think it will be a fun thing to do.

The basic concept of the Secret Santa game is simple. All of the participants' names are placed into a hat, box, etc. and mixed up. Each person then chooses one name from the box, but doesn't tell anyone which name was picked.

Secret Santa rules to follow

• Make sure everyone knows how to play. ...
• Set a budget. ...
• Know your recipient — and if you don't, keep it simple. ...
• Ask everyone to create a wish list. ...
• Avoid overly personal gifts. ...
• Have a sense of humor. ...
• Receive your gift graciously. ...
• Don't be afraid to mix it up.

we do this at work. $25-$50 budget

might be harder to organize on a forum especially the closer we get to Christmas the harder it is to order stuff and then ship to the person we have on list

figure best case we take a couple days to get participants, then another day to organize and draw names. Would be cutting it close




in reality, whoever wants to organize would need all participants names and address and then as names are selected, we are PM with the name we have and their address. Order something online and have it shipped directly to that person



I guess I'll put name in hat as someone to organize

a good idea on paper, but in today's world no reason be giving out ur personal info to strangers this would not be a good idea

 

[jjgold]

I agree with Kid here.

If only we live in the same place.

What do you usually give the person you pick, Sam?

This is also very common in the Philippines offices. A day to celebrate either on a beach or in the office with an exchange gifts and great food.

so obviously at work, we all know each other extremely well. I got one of my better friends at work who is a JETS fan.

So I got him a Jets mousepad for his desk. Me and him golf together, so I got a set of golf tees with JETS logo and a JETS Christmas tree ornament.

Will the gifts be opened on a zoom call?

Nice! It's very easy to think of a gift if you know the person. He is going to be a one happy Jets fan with all those gifts, Sam.
